Here I lie nAwaiting to die nNo cigarettes nNo drinks after eight nHere I lie nMedication cut down nTo preserve my breath nTo postpone my death nUnderstand nThis is the waiting room of Hell nnHow did I nBecome so old nWhy didn't I nPrepare my soul nThe forces of nature nAlso forced me to mature nThis thing called welfare nIs a joke in this nightmare nnThe lights are shut nThe doors are locked nI am tied to my bed nOnly waiting to be dead nThe youngsters are rude nContemptful to see me nude nWhat they see if of course nWhat will soon be a corpse nnAs my foggy mind reaches out to its ancestors nIt is given no reply but its childhood fear of trolls nAnd I wait, I wait, I wait to reach the gate nAs my role is fulfilled I gladly embrace the end of my fate nnDaddy won't you please take me home
